October 28, FINAL BLOG POSTING FOR THE RENOVATION

More of the same on the course. We have been continuing to do all the little stuff like yardage tags on sprinklers, distance markers in the fairways, and mulch. One major effort was the installation of all the winter annual flowers.

As promised, I had the island on #7 planted with flowers to show case our initials. You can see the bougainvilla in the background really starting to bloom with vibrant color as well.


Here flowers are being laid out behind the green on hole #5, next to tee 6. This bed is a break from the normal uniform planting of one variety. It incorporates 6 different flowers.




Here we are laying out the beds at the driving range parking


Here you can see the geraniums around the new oaks at the range, looking back across the new putting green towards the Clubhoues


Here's #12 tee



Here's #15 tee.


We finally took delivery of the new granite yardage markers for the fairways the Foundation purchased for the Club. There is a red 100, a white 150, and a blue 200 on all par 4's and 5's.


Some other small projects being done.....

We have to now re-install all the ball washers


We also just received all the new hole signs that have to be installed.


Add a little bit of last minute tree trimming


Can't forget to put out the rakes in the bunkers


Getting all of the fountains running was difficult. After sitting all summmer, it took the better part of two days to get the fountains on 15 & 16 running. What do you call a crazy guy in a 12 john boat that leaks like a sive & uses a broken peice of a pallet as an oar?....the Superintendent!!! Sometimes you just gotta "ger r dun!"


A last minute addition to the project list was to redo the safety railing along hole 15.


Since the grow-in went so well, the Club has decided to open up the practive facilities a couple of days early. Starting on Thursday the 29th and Friday the 30th, you are welcome to come out and practice on you very own new practive facility.
She's all ready!




Roberto was also able to paint the bridge over Mary's Pond red, to match what it used to be.


I'll close me final blog with a little teaser of a pic taken on hole #4. The entire course looks beautiful. Its a new golf course with an old Florida feel. Welcome home everyone....welcome home!
